That can't be a worm! Snake?

Defo bobbit, wow man. Kind of cool honestly. I'd almost want to keep him in a species specific tank.

That thing is out of my fever dreams. Four options, bag it up and ship it to king aiptasia or someone else who may like it. Return it to the ocean (offshore). Fire. Proceed to feed and watch it grow.

Just throw a mantis shrimp in and see who wins! HAHA jk jk jk

 

[BranchingHammer]

Wow that's a beauty. I know that @king aiptasia would love to have it. And I might be in the market so let me think, but I got first dibs. lol.

Amazing creatures but wouldn’t want one in my tank.

Ok after seeing the pictures you have a full fledge fish eater there, definitely a bobbit and hes going to be over 3ft long. He will be tangled up in your rock work so you may even split him in half when you start pulling rocks. Heres a video on what to expect.

My GOD! If my wife knew these type of beast could be living in our tanks, they'd all have to come down.

Whoever gets this out of my tank can have it!

If you were local to me id gladly help get him out but im in PA. Id love to have one and give it its own tank

 

[LRT]

[DaddyFish]

Uh, nope

Are these things poisonous?

 

[SteveMM62Reef]

Do you have any Styrofoam Peanuts? Rinse and Soak them in water to make sure they aren’t the dissolving type. Pack the bottle with them, with the bait Furthest from the opening. Weight the bottle down with a rock. Also ceramic bio-media will work, as will very course filter pad.

 

[terraincognita]

FWIW I'm 90% sure with a bobbit you gotta rip the tank down or at least where it's burrowed.

they don't ever fully come out for their pray, they leave part of the butt's buried, so he'll just go in, take the bait, and wiggle out.

Not 100% since i've never done it but just from my random research memories down SW horrors lane

 

[vetteguy53081]

Are these things poisonous?

No. Just an aggressive larger worm that bites what it can. It is fast and strong why a strategy is required

I had a live rock with about 3 small ones in. Saw it come out one night and found out it was a bobbit. After seeing how hard they are to remove I took the live rock it was in and tossed it into the trash. Lost a $50 rock but that was way cheaper and easier then trying to save the rock. Watched the tank for 3 months very closely and never saw another. Thank god.
Good luck and just find out what rock it's hiding in and toss.
